When Mace was killing his way through the ranks of the Vicious Circle, Bad Axe was the person that watched his progress. He suggested to OverLord to bring over the vigilante to their ranks but this attempt was met with failure. Bad Axe was apprehended and sent to Stronghold Penitentiary where he later tried to escape when CyberFace opened up the prison with his powers.

Bad Axe remained with the Vicious Circle and maintained his loyalty to OverLord, remaining with his faction even after his death. He was part of the group that was recruited by Dragon to depose CyberFace. When Bad Axe went to decapitate a brain-washed SuperPatriot with his weapon despite a warning, Dragon shot him dead.
